The first two models have been with me for quite sometime. I began to fly electrics in 1997-1998. Radios currently in use are 2 Futaba 8 "Super" in conjunction with Futaba, Hitec and FMA receivers on different channels. The two Futaba 8 "Super" are equipped with synthesized modules covering every channel on the 72 MHz band. After using 2 DX6i radios for a short spell, I have switched to two SPEKTRUM DX7 radios cover the 2.4 GHz band. The DX7 trannys afford me the extra channel I need in some of my models. As of October 2013, I have added a SPEKTRUM DX8 to handle the more sophisticated models I own. While I have switched over to 2.4GHz altogether, I still use the 72 MHz band in some of my models.

More of my fleet's pixs will be posted as time allows me to, I may even post the history behind them in a short narrative.

Flyparty's use of copper for pushrods baffled me to say the least since copper is too maleable to serve as pushrods. I replaced them as well as properly aligning the servo arms in relation to the push-rods, then adjusted everything for...Continue Reading
